We love our forests

New Zealand has 1.7 million hectares of highly productive, sustainably managed plantation forests. Recognising the pleasure that the forest environment offers, many forests are open to the public for recreation purposes such as cycling, running or simply walking and enjoying. Kiwi kids are truly blessed to have these wonderful forest playgrounds in which they can extend themselves physically whilst experiencing an intimate connection with the natural environment. We should love our forests for what they give us – and for the simple joy they can bring to all our lives.
